Three NBA franchises still do not have a team in the
G League. And any change in league policy would have to be approved by the players'
union.

"It won’t come immediately," Silver said. "But,
when I weighed the pros and cons – given that Condoleezza Rice and her commission
has recommended to the NBA that those one-and-done players now come directly
into the league and, in essence, the college community is saying ‘We do not
want those players anymore,’ I mean that sort of tips the scale in my mind that
we should be taking a serious look at lowering our age to 18.”

Last month Silver sent a memo all the teams in the
NBA saying that no change would be made before the 2021 draft.

So, Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, and the other blue-bloods
in the NCAA can continue to recruit one-and-done players for at least two more
years.
